The annual Seoul Lantern Festival (서울빛초롱축제) is a colorful festival of lights in South Korea that is one of the most popular festivals across Seoul. It is one festival celebrated in Seoul that you must see to experience the amazing sights!

What is the Seoul Lantern Festival?

Since its inception in 2009, it has become one of the iconic festivals of Seoul that takes place every November. The festival’s theme is different every year, but the one thing that remains constant is a large number of paper lanterns and LED sculptures along the Cheonggyecheon Stream.

You will see lanterns on the 1.3-kilometer-long path that runs along the Cheonggyecheon Stream. There are many other things to see along the way, from Cheonggye Plaza to Supyogyo Bridge. And every year, about 3 million visitors come to see and enjoy the Seoul Lantern Festival.

Many other countries also display their lantern decorations in this festival, including the USA and China. The lanterns follow the annual theme, stories from Korean lore, and many others. Even people launch their paper lanterns from a small section of the stream.

Best Lantern Festival Experience

As the Seoul Lantern festival spans about a 1-kilometer section of the Cheonggyecheon Stream, the best way to enjoy it is to take a walk between Cheonggye Plaza and the Supyo Bridge. If you plan to take the subway, the best exits are the Euljiro-1 or Jonggak near the Cheonggye Plaza or Euljiro-3 or Jongno 3-ga on the opposite side of Supyo Bridge. From these exits, it’s just a few minutes walk, and then you can enjoy all the enchanting lanterns!
